Last year, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco reviewed dozens of studies and medical reports on fetal pain. They concluded that it was unlikely that fetuses were capable of feeling pain until they were 28-weeks-old, which is around the seventh month of pregnancy.

Except to those folks that believe that life begins at conception but society's responsibility for it's welfare ends at birth... you know... the conservatives...

this is another case where I dont give 2 shits about what people "believe" Not a single credible person believes life begins at conception. (this bible even gives evidence to the contrary of this" And when I hear conservetives say they believe this, I ask them to prove it. There only response is either "the bible says so" which is wrong, or "that just what I believe", or iow, they just really dont know why they believe that, they just want to believe that. Beliefs for the sake of believe are by far the most dangerous ones.
